he Vehicle Measurement Module (VMM) is a high performance, ruggedized, vehicle Tinstrumentation gateway.
The VMM unit is housed in a magnesium enclosure with a tough, protective, plastic cover for the PCMCIA expansion slot which can, for example, be used for wireless LAN cards or memory expansion.
The VMM device contains four LED status indicators to provide the user with a visual mode of operation for the VMM and host device.
The VMM also has detachable cables for connection to industry standard high-speed host interfaces as well as to the vehicle under test.

VMM Safety Information
You should read and understand this safety information before installing, assembling and using the equipment.
DO observe the safety warnings and cautions in this document.
WARNING - This indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause personal injury if the hazard is not avoided.
CAUTION - This indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause damage to , a vehicle or other equipment connected to, or that might corrupt software if the hazard is not avoided.
Proper Installation and Use of this Equipment
This equipment has been designed, manufactured and tested to meet the requirements of international safety standards; however, like any apparatus, care must be taken in its installation and use.
DO NOT allow cables connected to this equipment to be positioned where they can be trapped, snagged, stretched across sharp edges, or create any potential hazard.
WARNING – This equipment must be earthed (grounded).
DO ensure that a competently trained person checks that all the electrical connections (including any electrical power cable or any extension leads) are properly made in accordance with the instructions.

For continued protection against electric shock certain parts of this equipment, including the PC compatible signal interface connections have been designed such that the voltage is limited to a safe value. In order to maintain this level of protection it is essential that any equipment connected to this equipment shall have interface connections which are similarly protected.
Assurance must be obtained from the manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment that interfaces comply with the requirements for SELV circuits in accordance with IEC 1010 (EN 60101).
DO NOT install this equipment at any location less than 400mm above or 400mm below garage floor level.
CAUTION - This equipment must only be used by trained personnel.
WARNING – If the VMM is being used in a moving vehicle, ensure that the VMM and cables do not distract or interfere with the driver, or form a hazard in any way.
DO use this equipment in accordance with the operating procedures.
CAUTION - Use of this equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair the protection provided by this equipment.
CAUTION - Do ensure that only those test probes which are required by the diagnostic procedure in use are connected to the VMM while the diagnostic is running and that all test probes are disconnected after the measurement has been taken.
DO ensure that all connections are made prior to applying voltages to the measurement system and that the lower voltage terminal connection (closest to ground) is made first and broken last.
DO NOT use this equipment to measure voltages higher than 450V AC peak < 20% duty cycle or 200Vrms max.

CAUTION - If the VMM system is used to measure hazardous voltages, these voltages can appear on the pins of other connectors in the measurement system.
DO NOT continue to use this equipment if you have ANY doubt that it may not be working properly or it is damaged in any way. Switch off power to the equipment, disconnect the DC power cord from the vehicle and contact your Hotline Call Centre Support.
DO NOT connect any equipment to the PC compatible signal interface connections of the VMM until you are satisfied that the equipment is safe.
DO NOT connect or disconnect any equipment to or from the PC compatible signal interface connections of the VMM unless the VMM is powered off.
CAUTION - Assurance must be obtained from the manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment that interfaces comply with the requirements for SELV circuits in accordance with IEC 1010 (EN 61010).
DO NOT remove any fixed covers unless you are authorized/qualified to do so for the preparation of this equipment.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of this equipment. Obstruction can cause overheating, reduce reliability and shorten the life of this equipment.
DO NOT expose this equipment to spilled liquids.
CAUTION - There are no user serviceable parts under the covers unless specifically indicated. Always isolate this equipment from the electrical power source (disconnect the DC power cable from the vehicle) before removing any covers and ensure that all covers are replaced and correctly secured before reconnecting this equipment to the vehicle power.

WARNING - Do not alter this equipment’s cabling during lightning activity if there is any cabling connecting from the equipment to the outside of the building in which this equipment is installed ie through a pc connector.
A defective electrical earth connection to any equipment may cause an electric shock hazard. This hazard may pass through the signal cabling and to any other equipment interconnected. It is recommended that electrical wiring is checked at frequent intervals and whenever alterations are made.
If signal cables are added to or removed from this equipment, switch off the electrical power supply to this and other connected equipment.
Pollution Degree 2 – Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
Installation Category 2 – Local level, appliances, portable equipment etc. with smaller transient over-voltages than Installation Category 3 (Over-voltage Category).
The measurements section of the VMM is designed for use in Installation Category 1 – Signal level, special equipment or parts of equipment, telecommunication, electronic etc., with smaller transient over-voltages than Installation Category 2.
DO keep the VMM away from devices that generate radio interference.
CAUTION – Do ensure the VMM is not subjected to extreme heat or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight that may cause heating of the VMM.
